Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is getting dramatic in the full trailer for the upcoming Netflix series The Spy. The series is a major shift for Cohen, who was last seen on television pranking right-wing politicians and more in Showtime’s Who Is America?, which showcased the actor’s chameleonic gifts and ability to never break character. Though he’s most well known for that brand of comedy, including films such as Borat and Bruno, Cohen has drifted into more dramatic territory before, particularly in Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables and Martin Scorsese’s Hugo....

Now that the era of the Marvel/Netflix series are currently in fans’ collective rear view mirrors, it’s hard to not wax a little nostalgic about it. While not everything that was produced for Netflix was pure gold, there was a lot of great TV and several great characters.
